Stop in for a cup of coffee

It’s easy here. Just need a cop to run a vin search to verify it’s not stolen. (15 bucks)
Cant do that here.
Cops have to have a legal reason to run a Vin. I used to find cars sitting on the street and call a friend to run the Vin when on duty, to find who owned it. He told me can't do it anymore . I have to give a reason why.
